For some reason, I can't seem to store an array of my class into the settings. Here's the code:

            var newLink = new Link();
            Properties.Settings.Default.Links = new ArrayList();
            Properties.Settings.Default.Links.Add(newLink);
            Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

In my Settings.Designer.cs I specified the field to be an array list:

    [global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]
    [global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
    public global::System.Collections.ArrayList Links {
        get {
            return ((global::System.Collections.ArrayList)(this["Links"]));
        }
        set {
            this["Links"] = value;
        }
    }

For some reason, it won't save any of the data even though the Link class is serializable and I've tested it.
